Hulk #1 Opinions?????

[DiceX]

Because as a seller, he puts himself in the position that he's not hiding anything. The worst thing would be if the book was trimmed. If he gets it certified by CGC, that possibility is cleared, and would bring more money for the seller. It also assures both parties of the actual grade, so nothing is hidden.

 

Beautiful book, man. If I had the coin, I'd be on it like swine flu on a spanish fly.

 

FWIW, I say 6.0 MP. (thumbs u

And CGC will also check for things like a married cover, married centerfold, or the like. Some collectors may even consider those things worse than trimming. This book will sell for several thousand dollars, and anyone spending that kind of money will want to know exactly what they're getting.

[Bryce61]

only a several? that's all?? :-)

[Bryce61]

It is for sure gonna be for sale

[Dark Knight]

Let us know what the book received after it has been slabbed. I'm definitely curious. Good luck!

[joeypost]

This one is a no brainer. Send it in. No sense speculating.

[Aces]

Slab it man, slab it!

Yep.

Could be a 8.0 PLOD.

[KryptoSpidey]

It is for sure gonna be for sale

1)sent to cgc..express service.

2)list it here on the forum only sales thread first.

3)we fight over it

[Bryce61]

where can I get a submission form? I need to send it in tomorrow before rates go up on May 1.

[VK]

I just personally don't think the seller will get more for this raw vs slabbed. Reason being that the buyer would probably pay the same for this raw or slabbed, so why not have the buyer drop the coin in getting it CGC'd? I just think the seller will be investing money into something that is going to sell for the same price anyway.

[Bryce61]

sounds like I should list it and put a reserve on it maybe. I can take pictures of the inside cover and the replaced chip area also.

[Turtle]

If you list it (on ebay, I presume) raw, put a reserve on it to protect yourself. However, if you get it graded be forewarned that there are some heavy hitters on these boards who refuse to bid on reserve auctions. Most say start it low ($0.99) and let the buyers decide the price.

 

You could always put it on comiclink for a "reserve price" and see what kind of offers you get.

[Bryce61]

thanks for all your help fellas, any idea what I may get for this? Going to try puting it on Ebay this weekend

My gut reaction tells me that selling a restored SA Key ungraded and without professional certification is asking for trouble. I see a high likelihood of 1 of 2 things happening:

1) People are hesitant about buying an ungraded book that has restoration with no certificate, so you won't realize the true value of this book. You could be leaving a lot of money on the table.

 

2) You open yourself up to a buyer who wants to cause problems and claims that there is more restoration than is actually disclosed. Many of us know how fun ebay disputes can be.

 

In my opinion, you should at least TRY to sell it on the boards. Sell it to a reputable board member and you won't get jerked around. Plus, you'll avoid the pain of ebay fees. But I still think that unless you need the money now, you should send it in for grading. The increased sale price you'd get would far outweigh the slabbing fees.

I think you are all missing the big crease on the bottom rt. of the FC - and the CT on the the chip repair is pretty obvious. 5.5 Moderate resto.

 

Still a decent looking copy

 

And I think you've got it right. No way this gets an 8.0 with a 4-5 inch corner crease that breaks color.

 

Still, it's a big scan which intensifies defects and it is a Hulk #1, afterall. Lovely book that should be graded and will likely fall in the 5.0 - 6.0 range.

 

good luck...

[Mio]

Oops. I couldn't see the crease with my other monitor. Yeah, not an 8.0 at all. Probably in the 5.5/6.0 range I guess. Still, trying to sell this book raw is asking for trouble.

[Dr_Neff]

DO NOT SELL THIS BOOK

 

you will be giving it away, I don't care if you are buying baby shoes or new lung transplant.
